Of course!
Writing down After I've deliberated and stressed over some social encounter that I think I did not in any way contributed to the kind of utterly unwarranted reaction from the other party displayed in front of others in an official setting has bothered now and then over a few years, has come to me as a good possible reason: The physical appearance of a person can be a reflection of a person's state or level of self-acceptance one's self-worth. If one has a low level of one's worth, it CAN translate into an uncaring, even abusive, behavior towards one's body. Since this realization that occurred to me only in the last few months -- even though I'd developed a whole larger theory (e.g. bad self-worth can lead to (or spring from, yes humans are complex beings!) angry or unkempt or anxious disposition, unhealthy levels of sex drive, a serious lack of appreciation of beauty and wonder etc) I think I was too quickly caught up with anger toward the person that my mind did not even drifted into cool headed understanding of his behavior. Well that's more reflection-to-writing.

But I do enjoy reading poetry by accomplished ones: Yes there is one -- warning: not for the faint of heart, by NYU prof and author of, 'The Solution.'

Of course there is then Leonard Cohen's pensive poems to penetrate one's imagination. Or, some light ones from D.H. Lawrence: When Satan fell/it only fell/because the god Almighty/Rose a bit too high/A bit beyond Himself
